We hate the child who gets this for a present. That child will lose the pieces within days. Then again, the child who gets this Lego Death Star probably won’t get to play with it. He or she is merely the excuse for buying it. It’s for the parents ha ha. (That’s what kids are for.)

It’s for the “collector” who would not even dream of opening it, for that would destroy its mint condition and lower its “value”. It will be the collector’s own mini time capsule in a box for perpetuity.

Still dreaming of building and for Lego to release this on their Technic series:

Stinking Death Star. Those suckers cost at least $400 here. 2 nephews have been drooling over that set for months. One set of parents haven’t caved (yet) and the other parent is making the kid save up for it. Kid decided to invest in Garbage Pail kids cards instead (which i used to buy for his dad for 25 cents a pack; now it’s something like $7!!)
Yes – Lego pieces will get eaten, as evidenced by the pieces we found in my 11 month old nephew’s poop a couple of weeks ago. Reminder to inspect Caitlyn’s poop.
